Stingarce (RKO-Radio) is an Australian bandit (Richard Dix) of the 1870's, named after a barb-tailed fish difficult to catch. A whimsical rogue who gallops about on a white charger, he kidnaps a composer (Conway Tearle), later an orphan named Hilda Bouverie (Irene Dunne) who falls in love with him. The bandit arranges for the composer to hear the girl sing, goes to jail while she prepares to become a great diva. Stately Miss Dunne succeeds as convincingly as do most cinematic songsters, but inevitably she is drawn back to Australia...

Normally, one would suppose them to be separated by intellectual and political incompatibilities too great to be reconciled. That these should have been forgotten, even temporarily, is a beautiful tribute to the power of an ideal. Human frailties, vanities, all the pathetic weaknesses of politicians and capitalists recede into the deep diminuendo of momentary oblivion. Oklahoma and Continental Can are at one! Osanna...
What deep in the Senator has cried unto deep in Mr. Conway? With infinite regret, we must record that it is merely silver. Senator Thomas desires the remonetizing of silver, a desire not unnaturally shared by a number of his colleagues from the silver states of the West. Many are their converts, like Mr. Conway, who see in silver the pillar of flame which shall lead us out of the Egypt of depression...
